EPISODE 36

-Xie An Zhen. -Yes?

I'm getting married.

-Really? -Yes.

That man must be someone extraordinary.

He's very ordinary.

He's a little over 40, an American born Chinese

teaching at a high school in the States.

He's a bit plump and going bald,

but he treats me well.

-So you're going to the U.S.? -Yes.

Life must be very different over there.

Of course.

He lives in a rather rural area,

so I'm probably going to be so bored.

But you're still...

I'm tired of living like this.

I'm just tired.

I want to change my lifestyle.

I want a simple, ordinary, and monotonous lifestyle.

I think it would be pretty nice.

Just like how you were in the past.

Really?

You're such a crybaby.

Don't spend all your time crying.

Before I leave, you need to teach me how to cook. Okay?

Sure.

I have something I need to confess to you.

What is it?

When Wei En was heading back to the States,

I wanted to hurt Rui Fan,

so I called him.

That's how he got Wei En back.

If I didn't do so,

right now,

you would still be a happy Mrs. Wen.

I... I'm very sorry.

Ai Lin,

I should thank you.

I'm grateful to you

because you...

you saved me

from spending the rest of my life with a husband who doesn't love me.

I don't want to be that kind of Mrs. Wen.

Think about it.

What if I take care of him for the rest of my life

and when he dies, he wants Wei En by his side?

How terrible would that be? Right?

I'm very fortunate, you know?

I've been blessed by God to have you rescue me from misery.

Ai Lin,

thank you.

You're something special.

You're so optimistic.

But it's a good thing you're like this.

You know, it's pretty funny.

We have completely opposite lives.

I focused on my career first and then family.

You focused on family first

then your career.

But,

if you're not here anymore...

You'll be fine.

Trust me. You'll do a great job.

Actually, I really admire you.

How is that possible? You're He Ai Lin!

It's my little secret.

Don't you tell anyone. I'll be very embarrassed.

-Is he really going bald? -What?

Your taste in men has changed.

We all change.

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

You will be charged after the beep.

Wei En, can you please pick up?

I'm very worried about you.

I've looked everywhere for you.

Can you please tell me where you are?

Wei En?

Ai Lin?

I didn't expect it.

Congratulations.

I met him through match-making.

Is he nice to you?

Yes, he treats me very well.

He can laugh about almost everything.

He doesn't have a temper and suits me well.

Doesn't sound like your type.

After all these years, I haven't found my Mr. Right.

Who cares about types now?

You've got to take every chance.

Good luck.

What about you? Did you take your chance?

Me?

I don't know yet. Who knows?

I know.

When you change a good hand of cards into a bad hand,

you know you're going to lose.

You didn't win, either.

That's fine with me.

I had nothing to lose.

But you're different.

You had so much.

So when you lose,

you lose more.

What? You don't agree?

For love, you were willing to be a cheater.

I can't help it.

I'm just a rebellious person.

You're not a rebellious person.

You're a person who wants to be rebellious.

You want to be rebellious

but you can't follow through on your actions.

Your time with me

was the start of your craving to be rebellious.

But all these years, I haven't even met your parents.

This shows that you crave for it, but you can't really be rebellious.

It's not that.

Don't say something like you were the real you ten years ago.

In my opinion, it's most likely

that you were the real you during your ten-year marriage.

Ten years isn't a short time.

You were so happy with An Zhen.

When Li Wei En appeared,

she awoke the other side of you.

The side of you who craves for rebellion.

Even though you crave for it,

you'll regret it after a while.

Are you saying all this because you think you know me well?

I do know you well.

That's why I left.

It was my fault that I didn't tell you why I left.

I was too young back then.

I didn't know how to express myself.

I didn't communicate with you.

So, whenever I think about it, I feel very guilty.

No big deal.

That was all a long time ago.

Yeah.

It's been over ten years.

We're not young anymore.

When you're young, you can fall and just pick yourself up again.

Everything is fine and cool.

But now, we don't have that energy.

I think you need some time to really think about stuff.

Who are you?

Who is Wen Rui Fan?

Make the right decision.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Do it before you regret it.

When you put it like that,

why should I regret it?

Wei En and I... will be alright.

We'll live the life we want.

I think I understand myself.

I know who the best choice is for me.

Thank you for your concern.

I hope that you and your husband can be

like Wei En and me and live happily ever after.

That's not a blessing but a curse!

Men are just so dumb.

They don't listen.

Careful!

Three more steps.

Two, three. Okay.

What are you doing?

Don't ask. We're almost there.

One tiny step. Careful.

Okay.

Turn to this side.

I'm going to count to three

and you're going to open your eyes.

-Okay? -Okay.

-Ready? -Yes.

One, two, three.

Magic!

Mi Bao.

-It's Mi Bao! -Yep.

Where did you find it?

I have my tricks.

How is this possible? Mi Bao, you're so lucky!

This... Mr. Lan, come here.

You should call its name. It'll be very happy!

That's dumb. No.

-An Zhen. -Yes?

Thank you!

Now you have two cars.

The old one has lots of memories and love.

But the new one is pretty and comfortable.

Maybe the new one will be better for you.

What are you going to do? Which one will you choose?

I don't know.

Wait. Let me check if it's hurt.

Didn't you have something to tell me? What is it?

I want to tell you, but... I don't know how to say it.

If my son doesn't know how to say something to me,

it must be about relationships.

Hey.

I've started for you.

Just tell me.

Okay.

Repeat after me.

Mom, I'm in love with a girl.

But I...

But...

She's not a girl.

You're pretty cool.

So you love boys?

No!

It's neither a girl nor a boy,

then what is it do you love?

It's...

It's Xie An Zhen.

Right! I'd guessed it was her.

Why?

You look at her differently.

There are two things you can't hide in this world.

One is a sneeze and one is love.

What's wrong then? What are you worried about?

That she's older than you?

Or that she's divorced, or that she has a child?

No. I don't care about that.

Then what is it?

She...

She's not my type.

And she's stupid.

I've been so nice to her, but she doesn't even know anything.

I really don't know why I would fall in love with her.

Or...

Maybe I'm not in love with her.

Baby,

you might not know yourself,

but I think you've changed a lot recently.

You've started to care for others,

be considerate to others,

and help other people.

Now I know

this is all because of An Zhen.

I've only met her once,

but,

I feel like she has one special merit.

What is it?

She makes people around her want to be better.

Son, do you know what I worry about you?

You're too smart.

People who are too smart usually aren't happy.

Maybe you need someone like An Zhen to make you a fool in love.

You know, happiness lies in foolishness.

Stop using your brain.

Use your heart.

-Heart? -Yes.

Yeah!

I'm always analyzing stuff.

-Including my feelings for her. -Yes.

But I only have to ask myself whether I'm happy or not.

Exactly.

Yes.

I'm happy.

I want to be with her.

Mom, I want to be with her.

I should stop pondering about it.

If I keep pondering, she'll be with someone else.

Right? She'll end up elsewhere.

Yes.

Son, you're a mature man now.

Even I'm falling for you.

-But Mom, I... -Yes?

I'm not sure if she's forgotten her ex-husband yet.

I don't know how I should--

Then make her forget him!

Can I?

Silly you, of course.

Not so long ago,

we were here

and you told me confidently

how great Wei En was.

How special she was and how good you were together.

The best you've ever met.

You said that with her, you could truly be yourself

and be the real you.

What about now?

Everyone is mad at me.

Can you help me?

How can I help?

Yes, I should think of a way

to keep you and Wei En from hurting each other

and torturing each other.

That's a good idea.

My pleasure. Let's do it!

Stop being sarcastic.

I'm just saying

maybe you can see if there are jobs I can do.

As long as I have a good job and I'm happy,

Wei En and I can live the life we want.

Really?

You're sure about that?

Even if you can find a new job

and your future can surely be free of challenges and obstacles,

what happens then?

I don't understand.

Wei En and I are in love.

What went wrong?

Rui Fan,

I remember we were right here.

You were so proud of yourself.

You thought you had persuaded me, right?

No. I saw that you were already in too deep.

I had to give up on you, you know?

Love.

You think you're in a romance movie?

Is love that easy?

I know that you and Wei En like each other.

But like is only...

like molding clay.

This clay needs to go through heat and a long period of time

so that it can become porcelain.

Then it eventually becomes love.

It's no use telling me that now.

No use for you, but it helped me a lot.

I saw you make these mistakes in front of me.

Suddenly, I had an epiphany.

I learned so much!

Thanks, Rui Fan.

Thanks to you and Wei En,

now my heart has... no desire.

It's all calm and peace.

I only see my beloved wife.

Cut the crap.

The challenges you're going through now

are actually the fire that can turn your relationship into love.

But it has only proven that you and Wei En are low-quality clay

that can never become porcelain.

I thought Wei En was a strong girl.

I don't understand why she couldn't just wait a bit more.

Strong?

Where is it? I just can't find it.

How is Wei En strong?

Even I can see that Wei En only wants happiness.

All she wants is to hold you

and tell you she loves you. And that you love her.

"I love you so much. Oh, you love me so much."

She's in her 20's. That's what girls at that age want.

So she didn't mind destroying a family.

What about you?

You want her to bear with you and help you.

Tolerate how poor, powerless, unambitious

unconfident, and moody you are.

You want her to be another An Zhen

apart from having all that romance.

Is that what she wants?

You just don't get it.

The you who Wei En likes

is the you who has a perfect family,

supporting her from behind.

Listen to me.

You were able to be dashing because of your wife's love.

You were able to be confident because of your wife's love.

That's why. Wei En doesn't know that.

No matter what, it's not Wei En's problem.

It's my own problem.

I'm not in a good place.

So when things are good, you guys are good, too.

When things get difficult, you're bad for each other.

Your fancy, beautiful fairy tale romance is so great.

Rui Fan,

we've know each other for a long time.

I hate seeing you like this.

I worry about you a lot and I even have nightmares.

You always say

that you'll take all the responsibility.

No matter what, you'll take care of everything.

Wen Rui Fan,

you overestimate yourself.

Can you really take all of this?

Well, you have to even if you don't want to.

But if you do this,

is it worth it?

Of course.

True love is priceless.

But after this comes to an end,

please just think about it.

Is what you feel for Wei En

really love?

Do you love Wei En? Or do you love yourself?

I--

Don't tell me.

Just be honest with yourself.

Tell yourself. That's enough.

Regardless of whether it's love or not,

Wei En only has me now.

And I only have her.

She's my responsibility.

I need to make her happy.

I must make her happy.

-Mr. Lan. -I'm Lan Tien Wei.

I know you're Lan Tien Wei.

You can call me Tien Wei.

Tien...

Tien Wei.

That's weird. Why should I call you Tien Wei?

This...

I...

I'll call you Cauliflower, okay?

That's funnier.

Fine. Whatever.

Hey.

So you decided to drive your new car?

That's because, I hid my old car at Rui Xuan's.

Why?

I don't want Rui Fan to see it. I'm worried he'll feel bad about it.

Why should you worry about his feelings?

He's already very pitiful.

Would you want a stranger to feel bad? No, right?

So why should I let him feel bad?

He brought everything upon himself. Why should we pity him?

Anyways, I wanted to ask you if you could help me pick

Ai Lin's wedding present. Can you?

So that's why you asked me out?

Yeah, you know how picky Ai Lin is.

I'm worried that I...

Well, I trust your taste, okay?

And, wait a second.

This is for you.

US$25,000

What is this?

This is what Rui Fan got when he sold the car.

I know you paid more than this,

but I'll give you the rest soon.

No need.

That was a present from me.

Cauliflower!

You can't give people expensive presents like that.

You can't.

I can't accept it.

What if I don't take it back?

If you don't...

I'll donate it to an orphanage in your name.

Sure. Thank you.

-Hey, Cauliflower. -Yes?

You really don't want it?

-I'm going to donate it. -Okay.

Of course. Here you go.

Thank you.

This one is really pretty.

Hey, look, it's Xie An Zhen!

She's prettier than she is on TV!

-Really! -She's so pretty.

-Thanks. -She's really popular.

-So beautiful. -Yes, she is.

It's very beautiful.

That necklace was really pretty.

It's a good present for Ai Lin.

It was right to bring you along.

So you're treating me to this?

No.

When they asked me for an autograph,

you looked impatient.

I was worried that we would be disturbed at a restaurant.

What if you decided to leave?

Hey, do you really think that I have such a bad temper?

Well, it's not just me, everybody thinks so.

Then...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry?

I said I'm...

Here you go again. You're messing with me?

Wasn't that dancing last time enough?

You're silly.

-Hey. -Yeah?

It seem like you are very different

from the we first met.

Why did you change so much?

It's you.

Me?

When you had that car accident,

you were pretty much unconscious.

But when you woke up, you immediately asked how the client was.

Back then, I thought

that your kindness was very touching.

No, it's not.

-An Zhen. -Yes?

Can I...

What?

Can I go after you?

Hey, you're very tricky.

Now you're trying to mess with me, right?

Come on, if we keep messing with each other,

it'll never end.

But,

I've decided to go back to sales.

What do you think?

-Hey. -What?

I said I want to go back to sales.

What do you think?

Are you sure? You're very popular now.

Yes.

Actually I'm not very used to the life I have right now.

There's too much pressure that's unrelated to work.

Like, if a tabloid or newspaper takes pictures of us shopping just now,

they'll write stories about us

buying a ring to get married or stuff like that.

You're being paranoid.

I can't help it.

I don't want Yu Meng to feel that pressure, too.

You can say that I'm unambitious,

but I like having a routine and just a simple life.

In my life, I only need little moments of happiness

to feel content.

Great!

Just be yourself.

When are you coming back to work?

Anytime. Whenever the company needs me.

All right.

But if you come back,

it'll be hard for me to go after you.

Hey, be serious now, okay?

I am serious.

Cauliflower.

Stop thinking up tricky ways or little schemes

to mess with me. I'm telling you,

I'm not the stupid Xie An Zhen I was before.

I won't fall for your tricks.

I think

you're still the stupid An Zhen.

I must do something for her

to show her how I feel.

Honey,

what are you doing?

Wasn't this car--

This car is Mi Bao.

Why did it come back by itself?

You're silly.

Cars aren't dogs. How can they come back by themselves?

Mr. Lan asked me about this car and went through lots of trouble

to bring it back to An Zhen.

Mr. Lan again?

Isn't he acting with An Zhen? Now it's becoming reality.

Why would he do this for her?

An Zhen will pay him back.

That's still not right. It's not a matter of money.

-What if he-- -That's enough from you.

Is her business your business? You're being kind of nosy.

Nah.

I'm trying to help my buddy Rui Fan keep An Zhen available.

-Honey, my love. -Yes?

-Are you sick? -No.

-Have a fever? -Nope.

Why do you always forget that they're divorced?

That's... I...

But honey, listen to me.

I think that Rui Fan is about to turn normal again.

-Give him some time. -Hao Kang De,

even if he does go back to normal,

I'm against An Zhen forgiving him.

Don't be like that. You forgave me.

-What? Got a problem with that? -No.

I'll take it back if you do. I'll be mad at you again.

What's your problem!

You dummy, stop taking Rui Fan's side.

Stop it!

Wash the car and your hair!

Wash your brain, too!

Put your hands Up.

Put your palms together.

Exhale and down.

Now, left arm and right leg together.

Now put your palms up.

Inhale.

Raise your arms towards the sky.

Now clasp your hands.

Two more.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

This is boring.

No, it's not.

Keep trying. You'll feel something eventually.

Feel what? Even more boredom?

How can my brother and that bitch be so despicable?

They're living in your house. I can't believe it!

Don't say that.

I agreed to let them live there temporarily.

Xie An Zhen.

Mr. Lan is here. Let me...

What are you doing?

Oh, right. I'm off today, Mr. Lan. I'm not skipping work.

I know that. I'm not here for you.

You said you had something important to tell me?

Yeah.

Didn't you ask me to help Mr. Wen find his job?

-Yeah. -I found one.

Maybe he'll like it.

Xie An Zhen, you're helping him find a job?

Yeah.

What kind of job is it?

A cosmetic brand from Hong Kong. They're coming to Taiwan.

They need a manager in marketing and sales.

-That's perfect for Rui Fan. -Yes.

Mr. Lan, why are you helping him?

What's wrong with you? He's your older brother.
